Books 'n' Blogger Recap (+ Mug O'Comfort Recap)

Hello friends!  I'm in Canada now, but I wanted to share my latest Chaotic Goddess Swap participation.  We just hosted our wildly successful Books 'n' Bloggers Swap-and I was matched up with the amazing Jessica from Writing Pearls.  Guess what?  She's a real life writer!  I'm so excited to know her-and she's already inspiring me to go on and start writing more-which I've wanted to do since I was a child.

Jessica was also extremely patient as the Universe seemed stacked against me sending her a package. I went to package it up and send it and found that one of the books I'd bought used had whole pages whited out (UGH-That makes me livid that someone would do that to a book) and that I'd forgotten to actually place the order on the third book I was sending.  So I got on Amazon and had an order shipped directly to her, but it was lost/damaged in transit so they refunded me and made me start all over!  Then somehow she ended up with duplicates.  See what I sent her HERE.

She sent me All the Light We Cannot See and This Whole Golden World which were both on my wish list, Just Pru, and also a book of her own poetry-how cool is that?  The extras she added were so sweet too.  A soft blanket, some dark chocolate, sesame sticks for healthy snacking, some Mary Kay, and a little plant pod for when I get a house.  She's such a great bloggy friend!

As for Mug O'Comfort... I'm going to start by saying I got totally caught up in school, work, house hunting, etc. and completely forgot to post this recap.  I feel bad, because I was paired with Stephanie of In Her Wonderland and she is AMAZING-so here's what she sent me!  See what I sent her HERE.

I love this mug.  When you poor hot coffee in it the face changes to awake!  She also sent some Tea, a cute necklace, some toys for Emma (who loved those fishes), and the book The Diviners which was on my wish list!  Thanks so much Stephanie!  Sorry this took me forever...
